Go ebay, I put together a pin rack in about 9 auctions for about 140 pins of which I gleaned what we needed for and resold about half that. The average price ended up being about $4.10 / pin. Was lucky enough to score Middendorf's spare pins in a series of auctions he held on ebay.

the cheapest option is to just comb the boulders below el cap. i have a dozen or so pins i found there that work just as nicely as my store bought ones. those things fall from the sky more than anything else.
ooh, but never do that because there might be invisible microfractures! and they damage the pretty rocks!

My pleasure.

I'll echo the eBay idea. I picked up four pins (two KBs, two Angles) for 12 bucks once. Second time around, I grabbed a mixed assortment of 6 pins for $14.
Ten pitons total, 28 dollars. Can't beat that with a stick.

i found a set of car keys for a rental ( :shock: ), 2 carabiners and countless bags of shit and i wasnt even in the heat of wall season yet!

Actually I am right, and attempting to climb clean is considered good style, and so is politeness, but living in utah I should expect people to act in selfish and unpolite ways.

Did anyone ask what you thought? What makes you think anyone cares?
The op started this thread to to find people willing to sell cheap pins, not to debate whether or not they are good style. Clearly youve never aided before, because if you had you would know that clean climbing isnt always possible. Go try aiding hard lines clean, youll be crying for the iron in no time.

You are a wanker who knows nothing about aid climbing. I know of no climber who prefers to slam a pin over placing clean gear. Some aid routes require nailing. Period. Come on down to Sedona sometime and I'd be happy to show you a few. Your lead. Or...
STFU!!!

PS -- I acquired most of my pin rack from eBay. They are on there frequently and most of the time can be bought mighty cheap.

I believe in nailing if you're doing it in Olevsky style, so that future climbers can do it clean. And I aid all the time: A0 bi tch!!!
Lazy Rednecks and their opinions!!!
